Looking for some brake and clutch lever covers for my 1125 like the ones that a lot of enduros and dirt bikes use. Anyone know if the uly covers will work. I would like them for cold weather riding to help keep the wind off my hands

Yes, all Buells since the late 90s use the same master cylinder covers.

If you are talking about hand guards, the Ulysses ones will fit the Cr, but on the R it will not clear the fairing.

Heated grips, good gloves.

Turn your handlebars full lock left or right, you will see that the levers leave no room against the fairing. If I recall right, it lightly contacts them. No handguard will fit without compromising safety.

Zac4mac shortened his bars a little bit to pull the hands more under the fairing, that plus heated grips and gloves will help in the cold.

I've got good gloves, mostly I think they look tough!

Froggy's right there.
I managed about 1/2-3/4" inward with the grips.
Only hard part is drilling new index holes for the controls.

That helps a lot but my Uly is the go-to cold rider.
I put a pair of Hippo Hands on and I can ride bare-handed, grips on lo-heat in freezing temps.
